You cannot get supervision again. Call me to discuss the facts surrounding your arrest.

There is a strong possibility that the State may not be able to prove the case beyond a reasonable duobt without a breath test. There is new law out of the Supreme Court of Illinois that could negate the Horizontal Gaze Nistagmus test. That's the test where the police officer has you follow his pen with your eyes. Please call for a free consultation.

Re: second dui in 3years

It's important to contest your summary suspension as a refusal to blow within 5 years of a previous summary suspension can result in a license suspension of 3 years with no driving relief. You could lose your driving privileges longer for this than if convicted of the DUI. There are certain time limits involved in contesting the suspension, so you should get a lawyer quickly. Feel free to contact us for a free consultation.
